How Thermal Blankets Work

These ultra-light layers use reflective mylar to trap radiant heat, reducing body heat loss in cold weather.

Choosing Between Blankets & Bivvies

Blankets offer quick coverage, while bivvies provide enclosed protection for sleeping or long-term shelter.

Cold Weather Preparedness

Combine emergency blankets with insulated layers and portable heaters for optimal protection in freezing temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a thermal blanket and a bivvy?
A thermal blanket reflects body heat and is ideal for emergencies, while a bivvy provides full-body protection and can be reused multiple times.
How long do emergency blankets last?
Single-use mylar blankets can last for years in storage, but reusable versions provide ongoing durability for multiple trips.
Can I sleep in a bivvy shelter overnight?
Yes — bivvies are designed for overnight survival. Choose breathable or condensation-resistant models for comfort.
Should I pack more than one blanket?
Always carry extras. Use one as a ground barrier and another to retain body heat — redundancy saves lives in emergencies.
